I had to have CJ (Captain Jack Sparrow) PTS this morning. I had taken him to
the vet Monday and she dx anemia from the FeLV. In spite of assist feeding and
B12 supplements he faded. Went downhill fast Friday and showed signs of
distress Friday night. With the holiday week end I just couldn't wait any
longer.
CJ was one of 4 dumpster babies I rescued last summer. They were just 4 weeks
old. I have since TNR'd their Momma. CJ was the loving-est little boy. He
would sleep under my chin and purr me to sleep every night. No idea how I'll
get to sleep tonight. Every time I sat down he was in my lap for hugs and
petting. Out of all the cats I've had he was the sweetest.
I know he is in a better place. It's just hard to lose any of them but even
harder with the special ones. I just have Mattie, who is blind, left out of
this litter. She is my adventurer. Goes where no kitty in their right mind
would go. She is also FeLV+ and currently asymptomatic. I pray I'll have her
for a long time.
